Re: Google Finance – what have you done to your website? RANT!

Dan, I suspect complaining will fall on deaf ears, given the warnings and the subsequent switch to the new feeble look. I just wish they could have given us a choice to stay with the old portfolio website or move onto the new one. Twitter is probably the best way to contact Google or by one of the options on their website https://www.google.com/cont...

Re: Kraken.com Error 520 Web server is returning an unknown error

Ily Gal,
Any comments on Kraken. It's been DOWN for maintenance for over 48 hours. That is a HUGE downtime for one of the largest exchanges. It must be doing their reputation wonders. People with money and crypto stored on their exchange must be worried. Please do care to respond, I would hate to not give you a chance to defend this exchange I said stay away from over a month ago.

It all depends on the ecosystem(s) you are linked too. If you have a Chromecast hooked to your TV or Speaker it opens up a world of possibilities.

I reckon they are similar, I just favour Google over Amazon since they already have the search engine.

It's a screen shot of a chart, big freaking deal. I know it's owned by Kraken. I am not faulting Kraken charts if your read the post. What is your point? Shady comment!

Re: £2 (Pounds) free Google Play Credit is a good reason to love Google.

Lookatbowen — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 01:22:47 -0000

Maybe it has something to do with the Google Rewards app. I answer questions a lot for them, have done for over 2 years. Maybe that is why it is targeted. Anyway, thanks for the link, looks interesting.

Hi Frederick, I received an email from Google play. It had a green claim button, which I clicked on and it credited £2 to my account. I asked my wife if she had received it and she said 'no', which is a little odd, buy I guess there is a reason. The screen shot is above in my post. I've checked my balance and it definitely came from Google.

Re: Should you cycle with earphones in?

Lookatbowen — Thu, 02 Nov 2017 10:27:32 -0000

Not sure how true the reports are on the terrorist truck attack in New York, but apparently some of those cyclist injured or killed were wearing headphones and were unaware of the truck speeding up from behind. Another good reason to NOT WEAR headphones while cycling.

Absolutely given how much of this technology behind cryptocurrency will affect the future we live in. Exciting stuff and this is just the tip of the iceberg. With knowledge comes luck! ;-)

Re: P!nk's Heavy-Hearted 'Beautiful Trauma' Is Our Album of the Week | Billboard

Lookatbowen — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 13:50:05 -0000

Great review Andrew. You have hit the nail on the head perfectly describing this album. I've listened to it a couple of times now and it is awesome. I think the world started noticing P!nk properly 5 years ago with her previous album, but this album will most certainly put her right in the cross hairs to stardom.

I agree with CryptoLife, your grammar and wording of some of your sentences are all over the place. I would recommend you get someone to proofread your post before publishing it.

Re: The Ultimate DJI Mavic Pro FAQ: Every Question Answered

Lookatbowen — Sat, 27 May 2017 04:01:35 -0000

Mark C, Absolute nonsense! There is nothing wrong with the gimbal. It works perfectly. (perhaps not on yours because you have done something to it), but rather than be a dick and moan about it and moan about a drone you don't have), why not describe what it is doing or what the problem is on your drone, rather than saying it is WHACK! What does that even mean to anyone?

DJI Customer service / Customer care is brilliant, try calling them or chatting to them from their website. (IM) is good, they are always very eager / quick to help. Did you take out aftercare cover? It costs 99 bucks, well worth it for a device that costs 999+ (that is the whole point of their aftercare cover, to fix problems, they will even replace your drone for a new one).

Have you upgraded? Always upgrade the firmware to both controller and drone. Connect your PC directly to the drone and follow the steps on the screen. Also remember to be careful with the gimbal. It needs to be handled with care. Perhaps you have broken one of the wires.

Once you have a working DJI Mavic Pro there are no regrets. Its a no-brainer - it's the best fold up drone on the market, and looking at the new Spark and how many of the top you-tubers are raving about it, its a winner too. No point coming on here and being a negative DICK!

Re: The Ultimate DJI Mavic Pro FAQ: Every Question Answered

Lookatbowen — Sat, 27 May 2017 03:55:04 -0000

All those Q&A are basic information found on multiple websites. How about this question: "How can one swap the imperial settings (e.g. feet and mph) to metric settings (meters and km) on the Mavic's controller? (not on the screen)?

Re: Forget Windows Use Linux is a USB-Bootable Distro for your Android Recovery Needs [XDA Spotlight]

Not to throw a spanner in the works, but has anyone tried DuOS, as the name suggests duo = two operating systems (Windows and android). I run it on my surface pro 4 and it works well. I did a small post on it here:

http://www.lookatbowen.com/...

I definitely want to try this option though, to see if it its better than DuOS. The only problem I have with DuOS is the older version of Android it runs.

Re: Samsung Gear S3 Frontier LTE & Samsung Pay will NOT work in the UK.

Lookatbowen — Wed, 22 Feb 2017 13:09:56 -0000

Excuse me! Why is the article stupid? If anyone is stupid it is you. Connugy.
If you paid attention and read the article I am talking about Samsung Pay not Android Pay.

Since the watch uses Tizen OS, a Samsung operating system, its primary payment system is Samsung Pay, not Android Pay, and my main gripe is that it's not supported in the UK.

Android Pay app is part of Android, which will also be available on Android Wear 2.0. There is a big difference between Samsung Tizen OS and Android OS.

Simple answer to your DUMB question is NO YOU CAN'T!

You need an Android smart watch that supports Android wear 2.0 and NFC support. There are only a few watches currently available with Android Wear2.0, but Android are planning to roll out the new version 2.0 software to more smart watch manufacturers.

Re: Samsung’s SmartThings Home Automation Platform Is So Unreliable, They Should Stop Selling It

Lookatbowen — Mon, 06 Feb 2017 06:50:13 -0000

Just wondering if you are still experiencing such negativity towards Samsung smartthings. I've had smartthings controlling my home lighting, cameras and sensors for roughly 6 months now and it's been effortless and everything has worked from the beginning. Given I have dedicated a lot of time to smartthings to get the right setup send I think that is key to having home automation. It is not something that one can just put in and leave, there is a lot of tinkering and changing steps to get the right setup.

Re: Android 7.1 feature spotlight: Google Camera actually takes a photo on voice command

Lookatbowen — Fri, 21 Oct 2016 08:05:01 -0000

Taking a photo with voice is nothing new. I am running Android 6.0.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and I've been using "Smile" or "Cheese" for ages. It works brilliantly and is a lot easier than saying "Okay Google take a photo".

Re: GoPro Karma vs DJI Phantom drones [CHART]

Okay, let me put it another way. Are you that lazy that you couldn't put the right weight in the box against the phantoms? It's all about the detail. The second I saw that I moved away. You lost a reader because you were lazy.

Re: GoPro Karma vs DJI Phantom drones [CHART]

Lookatbowen — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 14:37:14 -0000

Honestly, how can you compare something and leave the weight in oz which is different to the phantom? What a pants comparison?

Re: The 5 Worst Things About The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge

Lookatbowen — Thu, 05 May 2016 18:16:27 -0000

I have a cover on my S7 Edge, so no scratches. Can't say I have noticed fingerprints either. I bought my S7 Edge in Singapore airport at a very much discounted price and duty free, almost £100 cheaper then in the UK, so I thought it was a bargain for a dual SIM non snapdragon model. My previous phone was the note 3, the S7 Edge is noticeably faster, so no complaints in the speed department, this phone is quicker by a mile. Android N = Yawn! There is nothing wrong with marshmallow. If they take to too long I may install a custom Android N ROM. I bet by August some ROM cook will have an image for the S7 Edge. So then problem solved. This article is pointless to be honest, as there are no negatives. This phone rocks!

Fantastic review. Almost a perfect album. 10 stars would have been special, 9 stars is good enough. A wonderful collection of music. The young artists of today need to look at this man and his life and take note. This is how music and passion for life are written and sung.
